September 21, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Alabama State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) on March 3, 2010. The proposed revision would modify the definition of ``volatile organic compounds'' (VOCs) found at Alabama Administrative Code section 335-3-1-.02(gggg). Specifically, the revision would add two compounds (propylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate) to the list of those excluded from the VOC definition on the basis that these compounds make a negligible contribution to tropospheric ozone formation. ADEM is seeking to update its SIP to be consistent with the federal rule finalized by EPA on January 21, 2009, which excludes these compounds from the regulatory definition of VOC. This action is being taken pursuant to Section 110 of the Clean Air Act.

EPA is taking direct final action to approve a revision to the Alabama State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) on March 3, 2010. The revision modifies the definition of ``volatile organic compounds'' (VOCs) found at Alabama Administrative Code (AAC) section 335-3- 1-.02(gggg). Specifically, the revision adds two compounds (propylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate) to the list of those excluded from the VOC definition on the basis that these compounds make a negligible contribution to tropospheric ozone formation.

This is a Notice of the Presidential declaration of a major disaster for Public Assistance Only for the State of Illinois (FEMA 1935DR), dated 09/13/2010. Incident: Severe Storms and Flooding. Incident Period: 07/19/2010 through 08/07/2010.

This final rule adjusts the North and South Atlantic swordfish quotas for the 2010 fishing year (January 1, 2010, through December 31, 2010) to account for 2009 underharvest and implement International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) Recommendations 09-02 and 09-03, which maintain the U.S. allocation of the international total allowable catch (TAC). This rule could affect commercial and recreational fishing for swordfish in the Atlantic Ocean, including the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, by establishing annual quotas, although generally the levels of fishing effort and quota are expected to be similar to those previously published for the years 2008 through 2010.

In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for the opportunity for public comment on the proposed data collection projects, the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. Proposed Collection: Title: Customer and Other Partners Satisfaction Surveys. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension request. Need and Use of Information Collection: The information collected in these surveys will be used by Clinical Center personnel: (1) To evaluate the satisfaction of various Clinical Center customers and other partners with Clinical Center services; (2) to assist with the design of modifications of these services, based on customer input; (3) to develop new services, based on customer need; and (4) to evaluate the satisfaction of various Clinical Center customers and other partners with implemented service modifications. These surveys will almost certainly lead to quality improvement activities that will enhance and/or streamline the Clinical Center's operations. The major mechanisms by which the Clinical Center will request customer input is through surveys and focus groups. The surveys will be tailored specifically to each class of customer and to that class of customer's needs. Surveys will either be collected as written documents, as faxed documents, mailed electronically or collected by telephone from customers. Information gathered from these surveys of Clinical Center customers and other partners will be presented to, and used directly by, Clinical Center management to enhance the services and operations of our organization. Frequency of Response: The participants will respond yearly. Affected public: Individuals and households; businesses and other for profit, small businesses and organizations. Types of respondents: These surveys are designed to assess the satisfaction of the Clinical Center's major internal and external customers with the services provided. These customers include, but are not limited to, the following groups of individuals: Clinical Center patients, family members of Clinical Center patients, visitors to the Clinical Center, NIH intramural collaborators, private physicians or organizations who refer patients to the Clinical Center, volunteers, vendors and collaborating commercial enterprises, small businesses, regulators, and other organizations.

The Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP), within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, is announcing the availability of a guidance document entitled, ``Guidance on Withdrawal of Subjects From Research: Data Retention and Other Related Issues.'' The guidance document provides OHRP's first formal guidance on this topic. The document, which is available on the OHRP Web site at https:// www.hhs.gov/ohrp/policy/subjectwithdrawal.html or https://www.hhs.gov/ ohrp/policy/subjectwithdrawal.pdf, is intended primarily for institutional review boards (IRBs), investigators, and funding agencies that may be responsible for the review or oversight of human subject research conducted or supported by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The guidance document announced in this notice finalizes the draft guidance entitled, ``Guidance on Important Considerations for When Participation of Human Subjects in Research is Discontinued,'' that was made available for public comment through a notice in the Federal Register on December 1, 2008 (73 FR 72804). OHRP received comments on the draft guidance document from 30 individuals and organizations, and those comments were considered as the guidance was finalized.

In accordance with requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the FDIC may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. The FDIC, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the renewal of an existing information collection, as required by the PRA. On July 1, 2010 (75 FR 38095), the FDIC solicited public comment for a 60-day period on renewal of the following information collection: Interagency Guidance on Asset Securitization Activities. (OMB No. 3064-0137). No comments were received. Therefore, the FDIC hereby gives notice of its submission of its request for renewal to OMB for review.
